Two Arrested During Drug Bust in Branson

Saturday, August 21, 2021 at 8:27 AM

The Taney County Sheriff’s Office has arrested two people following a drug bust on the Branson 76 Strip.

Court documents say Lamira Lamonte Costner, 23, and Dysis Ahcy Jackson, 21, of Michigan, were arrested following the execution of a search warrant just after 10 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 18, at the Quality Inn, located at 2834 West 76 Country Blvd., Branson.

Both have been charged with Delivery Of Controlled Substance Except 35 Grams Or Less Of Marijuana Or Synthetic Cannabinoid, a class C felony. If convicted, they could face 3 to 10 years in prison.

The probable cause statements for both men say deputies entered room No. 313 at the Quality Inn around 10:08 a.m. and found the two suspects.

A search of the room found two bags containing a tan powder. The powder was tested and found to be heroin. A bag of marijuana was found in the same area as the heroin, along with a digital scale, and several plastic bags with the corners cut out.

Deputies stated in the documents the bags were consistent with the packaging for illegal drugs for sale.
